Esperanza Rising

Esperanza is put in a situation where her family must start over from their previous rich life. I am re-visiting this book all the way from elementary school! This was one of the books they would read out loud in class. I was surprised how much I actually remembered and now that i am an adult I can see all the details and talking points that were put into this book. This is a great book to talk about immigration and the complications that come with having to start over in a new country... plus a little extra!

Excellent book! It was fun to read this again after sooo long.
Be sure the read the touching author's note.
